حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي أَنَّ حَكِيمَ بْنَ حِزَامٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَعْتَقَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ مِائَةَ رَقَبَةٍ، وَحَمَلَ عَلَى مِائَةِ بَعِيرٍ، فَلَمَّا أَسْلَمَ حَمَلَ عَلَى مِائَةِ بَعِيرٍ وَأَعْتَقَ مِائَةَ رَقَبَةٍ، قَالَ فَسَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَرَأَيْتَ أَشْيَاءَ كُنْتُ أَصْنَعُهَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، كُنْتُ أَتَحَنَّثُ بِهَا، يَعْنِي أَتَبَرَّرُ بِهَا، قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ أَسْلَمْتَ عَلَى مَا سَلَفَ لَكَ مِنْ خَيْرٍ ‏"‏.

English translation
Narrated Hisham: My father told me that Hakim bin Hizam manumitted one-hundred slaves in the Pre-Islamic period of ignorance and slaughtered one-hundred camels (and distributed them in charity). When he embraced Islam he again slaughtered one-hundred camels and manumitted one-hundred slaves. Hakim said, "I asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! What do you think about some good deeds I used to practice in the Pre-Islamic period of ignorance regarding them as deeds of righteousness?' Allah's Apostle said, "You have embraced Islam along with all those good deeds you did

হিশাম (রহ.) হতে বর্ণিত। আমার পিতা আমাকে অবগত করলেন যে, হাকীম ইবনু হিযাম (রাঃ) জাহিলী যুগে একশ’ ক্রীতদাস মুক্ত করেছিলেন এবং আরোহণের জন্য একশ’ উট দিয়েছিলেন। যখন তিনি ইসলাম গ্রহণ করলেন, তখনও একশ’ উট বাহন হিসাবে দান করেন এবং একশ’ ক্রীতদাস মুক্ত করলেন। তিনি বলেন, আমি রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম -কে জিজ্ঞেস করলাম, হে আল্লাহর রাসূল! জাহেলী যুগে কল্যাণের উদ্দেশে যে কাজগুলো আমি করতাম, সেগুলো সম্পর্কে আমাকে অবহিত করুন। তিনি বলেন, তখন রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বললেন, তোমার পিছনের ‘আমলগুলোর কল্যাণেই তো তুমি ইসলাম কবূল করেছ। (১৪৩৬) (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ২৩৫৪, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
